Richard Sherman gets injured, receives more Twitter taunts

Richard Sherman’s postgame interview after the NFC Championship turned him into a household name and one of the most-hated athletes in the country.

The Seahawks cornerback suffered an injury late in the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. That’s when an army of anti-Sherman Twitter users concluded that this was a direct result of his previous comments.

Sherman caused outrage over his outspokenness, with people calling him classless along with countless other insults. Perhaps people celebrating his injury should re-consider their understanding of class and karma.

With a Super Bowl title to his name, an endorsement deal with Beats By Dre and what’s sure to be an increase in popularity, it’s likely that Sherman will survive the ankle sprain and an onslaught of nasty tweets and his case of ‘bad karma.’
